Definitions

  • This invention pertains in general to a tracheostoma aid device holder. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a tracheostoma aid device holder, comprising a skirt for attachment over a tracheostoma via the proximal side of the skirt, said skirt being provided with a through hole having a tubular tracheostoma device fitting extending distally from the skirt circumferentially of said through hole.
  • a tracheostomy is a surgical procedure in which an opening is formed through the anterior surface of the neck into the trachea.
  • the opening is referred to as a tracheostoma.
  • a tracheostomy tube can be provided to extend between the tracheostoma and the trachea.
  • a tracheostomy is performed for example when there is a malfunction, such as a result from injury or disorder, in respect of the nervous system or the respiratory passages, which malfunction results in an incapacity to obtain enough air.
  • An inferior lung capacity or need of respiratory treatment may also result in a tracheostomy.
  • a laryngectomy is a surgical procedure, used for example to treat a carcinoma, which involves removal of the larynx or voice box and the creation of a tracheostoma.
  • a consequence of the procedure is that the trachea is no longer connected to the pharynx but is diverted to the tracheostoma.
  • normal nasal function is not possible.
  • the nose and the mucous membrane lining of the nasal cavity perform important functions in conditioning inhaled air.
  • the convoluted passages and rich blood supply serve to increase both the temperature and humidity of the inhaled air to minimise the differential in these parameters with those of the surface of the lungs. Normally some heat and moisture is also captured from exhaled air prior to its release to the atmosphere.
  • the mucous lining of the nasal passages also serves to remove particulate matter, such as fine dust particles, pollutants and microorganisms, from the inhaled air, and the action of cilia transports mucous and any particles away from the lungs.
  • tracheostoma aid devices such as filter devices, HME, breathing protectors, and speech valves, have been developed to enable moisturizing of inhaled air, removal of small particles and bacteriological substances in said inhaled air, and providing the person with the ability to speech by closing the air passage through the tracheostoma by manual operation.
  • tracheostoma aid devices are held in place by a tracheostoma device holder, arranged above the tracheostoma of the person.
  • the tracheostoma device holder is normally attached to the skin of the person by a plaster, having an adhesive surface on the side of the plaster intended to be directed towards the person in use. Either, the tracheostoma device holder is welded to the plaster, or the tracheostoma device holder is arranged on an adhesive surface on the side of the plaster intended to be directed outwards from the person in use.
  • a covering sheet/foil may be applied, which is removed just before application of the tracheostoma device holder. The covering sheet facilitates transportation, and maintains skin adhesive ability of the skin adhesive surface.
  • a tracheostoma device holder of this kind is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,025,784, wherein the device comprises a cylindrical sleeve, an annular flexible and resilient skirt projecting outward from an outside wall of the sleeve, said skirt being configured for attachment to the skin of a wearer around the tracheostoma.
  • the device holder may hold a tracheostoma aid device, wherein either the tracheostoma device holder or the tracheostoma aid device includes an annular recess on the side wall thereof and the other of the two comprises an annular rib, wherein the recess and the rib ensures engagement between the two.
  • a disadvantage with this device holder is that the tracheostoma aid device will be released once a retaining force threshold is overcome by exhaled air pressure. Also, the sealing effect between the tracheostoma device holder and the tracheostoma aid device will also be affected by the retaining force threshold, such that the risk of unwanted air leakage between the tracheostoma device holder and the tracheostoma aid device is increased, which will negatively affect the possibility to control for example air flow through a voice prosthesis in the oesophageal/tracheal wall.
  • an improved tracheostoma device holder would be advantageous, and in particular a tracheostoma device holder allowing for convenient application of the tracheostoma device holder with improved retaining and sealing effect between the tracheostoma device holder and the tracheostoma aid device.
  • the present invention preferably seeks to mitigate, alleviate or eliminate one or more of the above-identified deficiencies in the art and disadvantages singly or in any combination and solves at least the above mentioned problems by providing a tracheostoma device holder for holding a tracheostoma aid device superimposed of a tracheostoma of a person, said tracheostoma device holder comprising a skirt for attachment over a tracheostoma via a proximal side of the skirt, said skirt being provided with a through hole having a tubular tracheostoma device fitting, said tubular tracheostoma device fitting comprising a sleeve extending distally from the skirt circumferentially of said through hole, said tubular tracheostoma device fitting comprising an annular lip extending proximally and centrally from the sleeve.
  • a tracheostoma aid device for placement in such a tracheostoma device holder is also provided.
  • FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the tracheostoma device holder according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective front-view of a tracheostoma device holder according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 a is a cross-sectional view of a tracheostoma device holder and tracheostoma aid device taken though the section A-A in FIG. 2 .
  • FIG. 3 b is a cross-sectional view of a tracheostoma device holder and tracheostoma aid device showing a detailed view of the region B in FIG. 3 a.
  • a tracheostoma aid device 200 may in this context be a tracheostoma valve, HME, speech valve, etc., or combinations thereof.
  • a tracheostoma device holder 100 for holding a tracheostoma device superimposed of a tracheostoma of a person is disclosed.
  • the tracheostoma device holder 100 comprises a skirt 101 for attachment over a tracheostoma via a skin adhesive proximal side thereof.
  • the skirt 101 is preferably flexible.
  • the skirt 101 is provided with a through hole 102 .
  • the tracheostoma device holder 100 also comprises a tubular tracheostoma device fitting 103 .
  • the tubular tracheostoma device fitting 103 is arranged circumferentially of the through hole 102 .
  • the tubular tracheostoma device fitting 103 extends distally from the distal side of the skirt 101 .
  • the tubular tracheostoma device fitting 103 comprises a sleeve 104 , extending distally from the distal side of the skirt 101 .
  • the skirt 101 may comprise a proximal end sheet 105 .
  • the proximal end sheet 105 may comprise, such as for example consisting of, a skin adhesive hydrogel or hydrocolloid. When the proximal end sheet 105 comprises a skin adhesive hydrogel or hydrocolloid the skin underneath the skirt may be allowed to exude sweat without significant loss of skin adherence between skin and tracheostoma device holder 100 .
  • Hydrogels contain a large quantity of water already, which allows them to tolerate the additional water from sweat. Also, the compressibility, flexibility and formability allows for the proximal end sheet 105 to take up discrepancies in skin structure and allow for easy stoma access.
  • the distal support sheet 106 is preferably of a material allowing for the skin underneath the tracheostoma device holder 100 to continue breathing, not only through the proximal end sheet 105 but also through the distal support sheet 106 . Additionally, it should be compatible with the proximal end sheet 105 comprising hydrogel or hydrocolloid as well as maintaining the compressibility, flexibility and formability of the proximal end sheet 105 . For these purposes it has been found that the distal support sheet 105 preferably comprises, such as consists of, polyurethane.
  • the tracheostoma device fitting 103 is made of a flexible and resilient material, such as rubber or silicone. In such configuration, the skirt 101 will extend laterally as a flange from the tubular tracheostoma device fitting 103 , in relation to a central axis of the through hole 102 . Similarly, the tubular tracheostoma device fitting 103 extends axially and distally from the skirt 101 , in accordance with above.
  • the tracheostoma device fitting 103 also comprises a lip 107 .
  • the lip 107 is annular.
  • the lip 107 extends proximally and centrally from the sleeve 104 .
  • the lip may extend from the distal end zone of the sleeve 104 , such as from the distal end of the sleeve 104 .
  • the manufacturing of the tracheostoma device holder 100 is facilitated and also the flexibility and length of the lip 107 may be adapted more freely to the relevant circumstances, i.e.
  • the lip 107 extends proximally and centrally from the inner/central side wall of the sleeve 104 .
  • This inner/central side wall of the sleeve extends axially with the trough hole 102 , defining the lumen of the tracheostoma device fitting 103 .
  • the proximally and centrally extending lip 107 will form a cavity laterally of the lip 107 , i.e.
  • the lip 107 will be able to flex outwardly/laterally upon pushing a tracheostoma aid device 200 into the tracheostoma device fitting 103 .
  • the tracheostoma aid device 200 is provided with a tubular body 201 and a heel 202 at its proximal end zone, such as at the proximal end of the tracheostoma aid device 200 .
  • the heel 202 is continuously or discontinuously annular at the outer/lateral wall 203 of the tracheostoma aid device 200 .
  • the heel 202 is preferably provided with a distal ledge 204 , extending perpendicularly to the central axis of the tracheostoma aid device 200 and/or the outer/lateral wall 203 of the tracheostoma device 200 .
  • the proximal end surface 205 of the heel 202 is preferably slanting inwardly/centrally.
  • the proximal end surface 205 of the heel 202 may continuously push the lip 107 laterally/outwardly upon insertion of the tracheostoma aid device 200 into the tracheostoma device fitting 103 , where after the lip will snap centrally/inwardly distally of the ledge 204 of the heel 202 .
  • the lip 107 may seal against the outer/lateral wall 203 of the tracheostoma aid device 200 —especially upon high pressure differences between the surroundings and the trachea. Due to this configuration, the retaining force and sealing effect will increase as the pressure difference between the surroundings and the trachea increases, since the distally directed force will push the lip 107 centrally/inwardly.
  • the tracheostoma aid device 200 When removing/releasing the tracheostoma aid device 200 from the tracheostoma device holder 100 , the tracheostoma aid device 200 is first displaced laterally in relation to the tracheostoma device holder 100 , until the heel 202 passes the lip 107 on one side of the arrangement of cooperation between the tracheostoma aid device 200 and the tracheostoma device holder 100 . In this position, the heel 202 on the other side of the arrangement is in closer cooperation. Once the heel 202 passes the lip 107 the tracheostoma aid device 200 may be rotated upwards to be released from its cooperation with the tracheostoma device holder 100 .
  • a protective lining 108 may be applied, which is removed before use, i.e. attachment over the stoma and to the skin surrounding the stoma of the patient.
